Augmented Reality Browser enables the enhancement of real world objects with digital information. It includes various types of engaging experiences, complete with interactive and immersive features like 3D objects and animation. Location- based layers help users to find nearby locations, including cafes, shops and other businesses, as well as historical locations and monuments. This paper surveys the field of Augmented Reality, in which 3-D virtual objects are integrated into a 3-D real environment in real time. It describes the, visualization, path planning and entertainment fieldsthat have been explored. This paper describes the characteristics of Augmented Reality systems. Future directions and areas requiring further research are discussed. This survey provides a starting point for anyone interested in researching or using Augmented Reality.

Introduction
1. Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality (AR) is a growing area in virtual reality research. The world environment around us provides a wealth of information that is difficult to duplicate in a computer. This is evidenced by the worlds used in virtual environments. Either these worlds are very simplistic such as the environments created for immersive entertainment and games, or the system that can create a more realistic environment has a huge price tag such as flight simulators. An augmented reality system generates a composite view for the user. It is a combination of the real scene viewed by the user and a virtual scene generated by the computer that augments the scene with additional information. In all those applications the augmented reality presented to the user enhances that
